Married to the Boss

"Hey, wake up. Can you hear me?"

Nicole Young kept patting the man, who almost unconscious, but got no response.

A moment ago, she was complacent about finding a quiet place for drawing. Now, she fretted about its seclusion.

What should she do?

Artificial respiration?

But her first kiss was reserved for her future husband!

Nicole gritted her teeth to make up her mind. Life mattered!

She pinched the man's nose and pressed her trembling lips against his pursed ones.

The man's body was scalding!

Nicole blushed up to her ears and continued. All of a sudden, a pair of hands landed on her back.

"Ah!"

Following a cry in fear, she wanted to get up, but it was too late.

The man somehow woke up and locked Nicole in his arms. Narrowing his eyes into slits, he spoke in a dreamy voice, "Damned woman, you started the fire."

He turned over and pressed Nicole down. His eyebrows knitted, he panted painfully and seemingly broke free the beast in him.

Following a growl, the man opened his mouth, bit Nicole's lips, and sucked vigorously...

"Mmm!"

"What are you doing! Let go!"

Nicole's hair stood on end. Pinned down under the man, she couldn't break free.

As the air in her chest was almost drained, her head became dizzy and muddled.

But what appalled her was his following moves.

Chee-ah...

The sound of cloth tearing slashed across the quiet air.

Out of fear, Nicole resisted more desperately.

But her resistance stopped with the tearing pain from her body. She felt like being run over by a car repeatedly.

Nicole cried feebly and shed desperate tears.

"Don't move!"

The man's domineering voice assaulted her ears.

Regardless of that, now Nicole only wanted to push the man away and escape from the nightmare.

Time went by.

She struggled until her voice became hoarse and repented of saving such a man.

Until his face flushed and his breathing slowed down, the man finally stopped.

With his scalding hand, he wiped off Nicole's tears and spoke in a faint voice.

"When I wake up, I'll marry you!"

With his last bit of strength, the man finished his words and closed his eyes.

Feeling his diminished strength, Nicole shoved the man away, picked up a stick from the ground, and hit the man.

"Who wants to marry you, ingrate!"

She lifted her hand and struck him again.

"This is how you repay your savior? Scum!"

She didn't stop the beating until the man's handsome face swelled and then feebly sank to the ground.

Her chastity was gone like this?

Calling the police?

If the news spread far and wide, people might only care about why she came to such a place and even taunted her for her indiscretion.

Overcome with bitterness, she dusted off her body and turned away.

But she halted her steps halfway.

In the wilderness, not a single soul could be found. The man was in an awful condition and didn't succeed in suicide.

She fished him up and beat him with a stick. If any misfortune happened to him, she could hardly absolve herself from the blame...

She already lost her chastity and would face prison. It was not worth it!

She sighed helplessly.

She took out her cell phone and made a call.

"Hello, 911?"

"A man plunged into a river at the Valley of the Flowers and fell into unconsciousness..."

Back at the so-called home, Nicole couldn't help knitting her brows.

Reclining on the sofa, Tammy Baker was eating sunflower seeds. After a glance at Nicole, she spat the shell on the floor.

"Nicole, why are you back so late? Sweep the floor; it's dirty!"

As soon as she put the easel on the table, Tammy's bluff voice came over, followed by her body.

Nicole took a glance at her step-sister, who was two years younger. The girl liked braids, had a pretty face, and wore knock-offs.

It was not that Nicole couldn't tolerate her sister, but Tammy was not an adorable girl.

Ever since Nicole's mother got married and brought her to this family, her sister had tried every means to give her a hard time.

"Yikes, why do you come back all wet? Ah, there is mud on you. Did our chaste girl roll in the grass?"

"Out of the way, leave me alone!"

In a bad mood, Nicole randomly pushed Tammy.

Tammy looked incredulously at her and then strained her voice to snarl, "Nicole, what are you doing!"

"What did mom tell you? You should be modest to your sister. How dare you push me? Aren't you afraid of me telling mom on you?"

Nicole clenched her fists and tightened her muscles.

Mom, not again. Nicole even doubted whether she was the stepdaughter.

In agony, she closed her eyes, unwilling to continue with the pointless argument, and walked straight to the bathroom.

She turned on the shower, bore the scouring hot water, slowly squatted down, covered her face, and sobbed faintly amid the pitter-patter.

No one would care about what happened to her. In the so-called home, Nicole was all by herself!

Tammy's voice came in. She seemed to be having a call.

"Mm."

"For what business are you looking for the owner of this phone?"

"Your young master was saved?"

"Who is your young master?"

"What! Hugh Edwards, son of real estate tycoon Sam Edwards?"

"Yeh, I am the owner of the phone!"

"My name is Tammy Baker, and I live at 138 Firmiana Street."

...

Tammy's boyfriend was coming again. At the thought of the obscene gaze from that young man, Nicole unhappily turned off the shower, pulled on her clothes, and got out of the bathroom.

Unexpectedly, Tammy was still in her room.

As Nicole suddenly showed up, she hastily stood up and dropped something with a thud.

It was Nicole's cell phone!

"What are you doing with my phone?"

Prying into her privacy again? Displeased, Nicole reached out to snatch it.

"Why are you so anxious? Who likes your stupid phone!"

"Nicole, tell me, how did you save the young master of the Edwards Family?"

"None of your business!"

Nicole's heart was racing. From where did Tammy learn about the rescue?

How much did she know?

If Tammy knew about her loss of chastity, the news would spread to all their acquaintances within half a day.

With a coquettish smile, Tammy tossed the phone on the table and raised her head, "They gave a call. Are you still trying to hide it?"

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

Sick of her sister, Nicole took the phone and wanted to leave.

"Nicole, the Edwards Family is not suitable for you. You are born to be poor and will get killed in that kind of place. Why don't you give up the opportunity to me? Once I become a young mistress, I can guarantee you and mom a wealthy life."

"Psycho!"

Jingle...

In her annoyance, she received a text message.

"I have to go abroad for an emergency. My butler was asked to pick you up. Name your requests, don't hold back."

Who was this?

"Who is this?" Nicole thought for a while and texted back.

"You man!"

Was this the very man today?

Was Tammy speaking the truth?

"Nicole, give me your phone, and I'll give you my iPhone in exchange!"

Hearing the message prompt, the overbearing girl got up and pounced on Nicole.

Nicole immediately stepped back and kept avoiding her.

While they were scrambling, the door was suddenly opened.

"Nicole."

A woman's voice went into her ears, and she felt a bit unreal.

Nicole turned around and saw Linda Young sweating profusely at the door.

The woman was her mother, but she could hardly remember when she called her mother last time.

Nicole straightened up and dropped her eyelashes to hide her adamancy.

She opened her mouth and spoke in a bland tone, "Aren't you at work? Why do you come back early?"

"Nicole, Tammy is destined to be a young mistress, and you shouldn't vie with her." She started her speech with a threat, which sent a shiver through Nicole.

Did she hurry back just for this?

The profuse sweat on her face indicated how loving a mother she was.

She raised her head and smiled, "Mom, what are you talking about? I don't get it!"

"I know everything. Give up the title to Tammy!"

What?

Nicole could barely force a smile.

"I've heard about what happened today. Someone just called you, and Tammy answered it." Linda took out her phone, which showed a long WeChat message from Tammy.

Linda was her mother, but there was no tender love in her eyes.

"Nicole, you don't have the fortune to become a young mistress. I don't know how you saved him, but you don't even know about his identity. Since Tammy already told him her name, let it be!"

"She told them her name?"

Sorrow gagged her throat. Tammy picked up her phone and offered her name. Instead of blaming her, Linda even connived with her.

Was her mother such a bad person?

Nicole couldn't help sneering, "The background of the other party is unknown, and she told them her name. Isn't she afraid of exposure?"

"Mom, no one would know the truth if we exchange phone number, but she wouldn't give me her phone. Boohoo..." Meeting with Nicole's rejection, Tammy held Linda and cried.

"Nicole, give the phone card to Tammy. Don't forget that she is your little sister!" Linda pulled a long face, her eyes full of reproach.

Nicole was not really interested in becoming a young mistress!

Neither did she have any interest in that man. In fact, she disliked him. She cared nothing about being the young mistress of the Edwards Family but she cared about Linda's reaction.

"Nicole, hand over the phone card!"

Meeting with Nicole's reluctance, Linda stretched out her arm.

"Hand it over!"

Linda further stretched out her arm.

Nicole took a step back and shook her head, "Even if I throw it away, I'll never do such a thing. This is a fraud!"

"Enough!" Linda stepped forward and snatched her cell phone.

"Mom..."

Before her eyes, Linda handed the phone to Tammy, which broke her heart.

Nicole pursed her lips and dropped her empty hands.

"The man I saved took my chastity!" Nicole gritted her teeth, looked into Linda's eyes, and spoke slowly, stressing each word.

Since the man was willing to marry her, he would be his husband. Should she give him up to her sister like this?

Standing there, Linda widened her eyes, and her lips trembled constantly.

As Nicole's lifelong happiness was concerned, this was more than just a title.

As Linda hesitated, Nicole's eyes were tinted with a glimmer of hope.

"What's the big deal? The restoration surgery just costs 800 yuan. As long as you don't bring it up, no one would know." Tammy couldn't wait to change the phone card, dropped her eyes, and stole a glance at Linda, who stood there like a lemon.

She hurriedly made a call and got out.

Only Linda and Nicole were left in the room.

They stood there in the same postures as the night when Linda decided to marry.

Linda told her that night, "Nicole, I don't have a choice. There are trade-offs to keep you by my side."

Linda was standing on the same footing again today.

She slightly bent over and spoke in a faint voice, "Nicole, you've grown up!"

Nicole's lips moved, but before she could call her mom, Tammy hurried back and shouted to Linda, "Mom, dad wants a word with you."

Linda took the phone, shot a meaningful look at Nicole, and then put the phone to her ear...
